              C                            C7 
I see the town where we were born 
  
  F                     C 
I see the place we were raised 
 
              G7         Am      D7           G7 
I see all the things you wanted  that I never gave 
 
C                   C7     F                  C 
I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face 
 
                       G7             F   C 
But I just can't see a stranger in my pla-ce 
 
 
                       C7 
I can see now where we quarreled 
 
  F                 C 
I can see now I was wrong 
 
          G7              Am      D7            G7 
I can see where you might weaken  when I wasn't strong 
 
C                        C7       F                C 
I see memories of a love gone bad that time cannot erase 
 
                       G7             F   C 
But I just can't see a stranger in my pla-ce 
 
 
G7                                  F  C 
No one seems to know you quite like I  do 
 
G7                                    C 
No one knows the things that make you cry 
 
G7                            Am     F 
Looking back it seems I never showed you 
 
D7                             G7 
And now I lie alone and wonder why 
 
 
C                                  C7 
I can see now where you might grow tired 
 
   F                      C 
Of dreams that don't come true 
 
          G7           Am 
I can see where I have fallen short 
  
D7                       G7 
Of the things I promised you 
 
C                        C7 
I can see now through my tear filled eyes 
 
F               C 
No love on your face 
 
                       G7             F   C 
But I just can't see a stranger in my pla-ce
